A Love Poem Gone Horribly Wrong

Blank smiles like a book of blank pages
A lie for every wish we made
Written in the fine ink of deception
Skin pressed closer to the blade

Well, I'm just sitting here lonely
Scribbling down thoughts that my heart bleeds
And I can write whatever I want
But I can't write what I need

I used to think I needed you
and your warmth safely within my grasp
A stroke towards redemption
Another lonely heart to clasp

A solitary rhythm to match my own
Beating the same dark emotions
Your eyes spoke words we couldn't say
Connected by passion's devotion

What's that?
Put that pretty rhythm in my head
Drown out the words you lied
Fill my ears with other sounds
Beside my failing tries

Tried so hard to love someone
And enveloped in your touch
I thought we shared something more than skin
But I guess it wasn't enough

Too deeply sunk
once again
to pull myself back out
The waters rise above my head
And drown my happiness out

This is a love poem
Gone horribly wrong
Each single heart I meet means disaster
Written rhymes full of the parts of you and me
That prevent happily ever after

Now I just sit here lonely
In the comfort of my own
Wishing
Waiting
Bleeding love poems
I'm so tired of being the one left alone
